Ken Williams got the keys to the White Sox when predecessor Ron Schueler
walked away after a 95-win playoff season in 2000. After 12 seasons as
general manager, Williams would have loved to go out in similar fashion.
Instead, he stepped aside to make room for Rick Hahn, his longtime assistant,
after a season that saw the Sox lead the American League Central for four
months before an 11-17 September dropped them behind the Tigers and out of
the playoffs.
The 2012 White Sox were like all of Williams' teams: competitive mostly
because of talent imported for the short haul rather than a homegrown core
with staying power. Chicago made its run in part because Williams' deals for
Adam Dunn, Jake Peavy and Alex Rios turned around, but in the end the team
overachieved to win 85 games. The good news was that the organization showed
signs of getting back to its roots in scouting and player development.
The last two No. 1 prospects on this list, Chris Sale and Addison Reed,
emerged as building blocks for the pitching staff. Sale went 17-8, 3.05 in
his first year as a starter, while Reed converted 29 of 33 save opportunities
as a rookie. Hector Santiago, a 30th-round draft-and-follow in 2006, opened
the season as the closer and ended it as a probable member of the 2013
rotation. The White Sox added another quality young arm in Jose Quintana, a
minor league free agent recommended by scouts Joe Siers and Daraka Shaheed.
Quintana hadn't pitched above high Class A before 2012, but he proved to be a
lifesaver when John Danks injured his shoulder.
For once, Williams resisted the urge to trade top prospects. He bolstered the
big league club by dealing for Francisco Liriano, Brett Myers and Kevin
Youkilis without giving up any youngsters who will be missed.
One nagging issue for the franchise was a sixth consecutive season of
decreased attendance at U.S. Cellular Field. Chicago drew 1,965,955 fans to
rank 24th in the majors. Williams, whose new job title is executive vice
president, will try to help owner Jerry Reinsdorf turn around that troubling
trend.
The club did reverse another negative by investing more heavily in the draft.
After spending less money on bonuses ($18.3 million) than any team during the
2007-11 drafts, the White Sox paid $6.5 million for their 2012 draftees. That
included $2.475 million—the third-highest draft bonus in franchise history—
for 13th overall pick Courtney Hawkins.
After a decade of relative inactivity in Latin America, the White Sox also
began rounding up talent more aggressively under Marco Paddy, who left the
Blue Jays to take a job as special assistant to the GM in charge of
international operations. Paddy's most significant signing in 2012 was
power-hitting Dominican third baseman Luis Castillo for $450,000.
Two of the White Sox's three highest affiliates finished as runners-up in
their playoffs. Triple-A Charlotte went to the International League finals,
featuring a lineup that included three of the system's best position players
in outfielders Jared Mitchell and Trayce Thompson and shortstop Carlos
Sanchez. High Class A Winston-Salem had the Carolina League's best
regular-season record at 87-51 and made its playoff run with Chicago's top
picks in the last two drafts (Hawkins and outfielder Keenyn Walker) and two
of its best pitching prospects (Erik Johnson and Scott Snodgress).
